It is well known to add to drying oils and their solutions or to japans and lacquers of all kinds so-called pore fillers for priming purposes, the

0 main function of which is to close the pores of an absorbent or imbibing ground material at the proper time, so as to prevent the priming substance from being swallowed up by the ground material, the priming substance serving'to produce a layer of material of which a sufficient.

If the quantity of sulphur chloride be great enough, after an interval of time, hard material would be formed which would separate from the solvent. In order to prevent premature hard- 5 ening, an additional quantity of fatty drying oils is incorporated in the mixture. Therefore, by correctly timing the addition of this quantity of fatty drying oils, the sulphur chloride will ei'fectively bring into solution a considerably greater g g quantity of fatty drying oils, with the result, first, that the action of .the substances one upon the other is carried out more slowly and, second, solid material is no longer formed.

By this process the pore filler goes into solu- #35 tion in a colloidal state as formed. According to the quantity of oil available for addition, it is possible to change the degree of dispersion of the colloidal solution.

EXAMPLE Priming compound with linseed oil and sulphurchloride at which the mass is just in condition of barely being stirrable the reaction is interrupted and 40 parts of linseed oil are gradually added. By further additions of oil-drier and benzine the mass is diluted to painting consistency.

The varnishes obtained by the procedure hereinbefore described contain the pore-filling substance of low specific gravity in such an extremely fine distribution as cannot be accomplished by the ordinary methods, and the pore filling action of the compound is therefore very complete and uniform. As a special advantage the extremely intimate combination of the colloidally distributed pore filling substance with the dry coating should be mentioned.

It should be remarked that the invention is susceptible of modifications and changes to conform to varying conditions of application, and within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

We claim:-

1. The process of manufacturing varnishes and 110 the like which consists in causing a. reaction between a body of blown linseed oiland less than five per cent of sulphur chloride and a. quantity of a thinner and adding a drier thereto.

2. In a process of manufacturing varnishes, paints, and the like that step which consists in causing a reaction between a body of blown linseed oil and not more than seven per cent of sulphur chloride.

3. A process of manufacturing varnishes, paints and the like which consists in causing a reaction between a body of blown linseed oil and not more than seven per cent of sulphur chloride and addthe a thinner and a drier thereto.

4. A process of manufacturing paints, varnishes and the like which consists in causing a reaction between blown linseed oil and a small quantity of sulphur chloride, interrupting the reaction before completion and diluting the mass to form a colloldally suspended priming product, and addhis a drier to the product.

5. A process of manufacturing paints, varnishes and the like which consists in causing the reaction of blown linseed oil end a small quantity of 1,eae,eso

sulphur chloride and interrupting the reaction at an intermediate stage by the addition of a thinner to obtain a product in a dispersed state.-

6. A process of manufacturing paints, varnishes and the like which consists in causing a reaction between blown linseed oil and a. small proportion of sulphur chloride, and by incorporating a thinner in the oil obtaining an intermediate reaction product in a dispersed state, and adding a drier to said product.

7. A paint adapted to priming purposes, comprising a mixture of a thinner and drier with the colloidally suspended reaction product of the process of claim l.

8. A process of manufacturing paints, varnishes and the like which consists in causing a reaction between blown linseed oil and a small quantity of sulphur chloride in the presence oi a diluent, interrupting the reaction before completion and diluting the mass to form a colloidally suspended priming product, and adding a drier to the product.
